Mid June - new blogs to try out

bloodaxeblogs - because the back posts look interesting, being by Astley. No new posts though.

sonofabook - because I like the tone of his writing.

yrakha - because I was led on to another blog about contemporary Arabic writing.

qisasukhra - ...this one.

ambitmagazine - because Navid Hamzavi read out his piece to us at the Albion Beatnik Bookstore this Sunday.

When I encourage other people to write their own blog...

I mean that I appreciate seeing how a person lays out their thoughts. I like to see the words they choose. Even the spelling mistakes say something and any tiny anomalies of punctuation.

Interaction in person is fleeting and hard to recall, yet a composed creation is another side to a person and is something I happen to get a lot out of. It is easier to mull over and see in the round.

I like the variation in subject choices and the changes over time due to new interests. I like to see the flow of life, not knowing what might happen next.
